Ruine, Architectural heritage monument in Giebelstadt, Germany.

Geyerschloss is a three-winged Renaissance water castle ruin at the southern edge of Giebelstadt, with round corner towers and traces of a deep moat once crossed by a drawbridge. Its northern wing collapsed before 1861, and the remaining walls later served as a quarry.

A member of the Geyer von Giebelstadt family built the moated castle at the southern edge of the village in the 14th century. In autumn 1441 Rothenburg destroyed it in reprisal for Geyer raids, and it was rebuilt as a three-winged Renaissance water castle. The line died out in 1708; after 1861 the community took over the castle, whose northern wing had already collapsed, and it served as a quarry until the open-air stage was built in 1925.

Since 1925 the ruin has served as the backdrop for the annual Florian-Geyer-Spiele, open-air plays about the peasant leader Florian Geyer, who once owned the castle. The performances were held from 1925 to 1938 and resumed in 1980. The site keeps the name of the Geyer family of Giebelstadt.

The ruin stands at Am Geyerschloß 7 on the southern edge of Giebelstadt, where the open-air stage for the Florian-Geyer-Spiele was built in 1925. The grounds are uneven and partly overgrown, so sturdy shoes help; the site is a protected monument, so stay on the paths.

The ruin has served as an open-air stage for the Florian-Geyer-Spiele since 1925, with a break between 1938 and 1980. The plays commemorate Florian Geyer, a later owner of the castle who led the Tauberhaufen peasant force during the Peasants' War.
